Reddit reviews Ultralife Blue Green Slime Stain Remover

I had a bad bout of cyanobacteria earlier last year. I did a bunch of research and nothing will eat them.
I did use chemicals to get rid of it.
Specifically this. It worked much better than I thought. It killed all of it without harming my fish.

If it traps bubbles it's cyanobacteria. In freshwater tanks it's more commonly known as blue green aglae.

This product will get rid of it fast:

the other option is this stuff I’ve never used it, but I have used a similar product for red cyno in a reef tank.

The last I had BG cyno was when I was at the end of cycling my planted community 30g. I definitely had nitrates(I’m not saying low nitrates don’t cause it, but they were for me higher then 20ppm), but I had no fish yet and went with Erythromycin. It didn’t kill the cycle and it killed the cyno. It hasn’t comeback, but I’ve definitely had “normal” algae since then.

Part of me thinks it can just be a phase a cycling tank goes though like diatoms. You’ve definitely done your research., and you know your tank better then an internet stranger. If it starts effecting the plants, I personally would want to kill it with either option and then with nutrients make sure it doesn’t return.

The adjusted rating is the same as the original rating which is somewhat promising but there are some suspicious reviews.

Try the advice that bquad gave and see if it helps. I've had battles with BGA as well and I am always on the losing side for some reason. My recent battle had me go and purchase this stuff from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QSK31M/

I followed the directions on the product and made no special changes to my tank and within a week the BGA was gone. From the comments this stuff doesn't contain Erythromycin.

This is an expensive method but really works. However like others said, unless you fix the nitrate issue, BGA will keep coming back.

EDIT:
For anyone that is interested, it was decided that it was a mixture of a hell of a lot of diatoms and some cyanobacteria. The initial solution suggested was using Erythromycin but it isn't available to purchase in the UK without a prescription.
Instead I found this on amazon which had amazing reviews so I decided to give it ago. I used one treatment and within 48 hours the cyano bacteria was starting to die off, and within a week it had completely gone.
For the diatoms I purchased a group of 6 Oto's who proceeded to demolish it and are now stripping clean the substrate and any flat surface every single night.
Hope this helps anyone else having the same problem

So the tank is around 6-8 weeks old and is almost done cycling. Ammonia- 0ppm Nitrites- 0ppm Nitrates 40-80ppm. It is a high tech set up with a 7 hour photoperiod. I mimic the fertiliser dosage of the 2HR Aquarist as I was worried about overdoing it.

When the tank was around 3 weeks old I started to get hair algae in the tank, but at 5 weeks old the hair algae was overtaken by what I assumed were diatoms. I kept up weekly 50% water changes to try and help but its getting worse and worse, to the point where I've lost 4 different plants because their leaves were getting so covered by it that they died. I was originally cleaning it off of the leaves daily but it makes no difference, it is back by the following day.

In an attempt to bring my nitrates down I've added fluval clearmax to the canister, but I'm really not sure else to do.

Looks to be it. I used this stuff earlier this year and it did a great job getting rid of it. My cyanobacteria bloom was very large, covering most of my substrate and driftwood with a thick green slime. If you use that stuff, you'll want to keep the lights out for about a week and do 30% to 50% water changes every couple of days so the dead cyanobacteria don't make your ammonia spike.

I have had excellent results with this product. Follow instructions to the T.

I would honestly recommend anything that would kill the existing algae in the tank and replace/add more plants that are not doing too hot.

The cyanobacteria will probably go away once the nitrogen is raised, but I would give it a kick and also use Ultralife blue green slime stain remover.

My tank was absolutely covered in BGA and someone recommended this product and it got rid of it all in three days

this product worked like magic on my tank

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QSK31M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This. Worked great for me. Didn't harm plants.

I got a water pump like you suggested, I set it pretty low so it wouldn’t bother my betta too much but it looks like it’s doing the job! I think most of the Cyanobacteria is gone, I just have to syphon off the excess dead stuff and maybe dose the tank again to be safe. I used this stuff since it wouldn’t kill off my nitrifying bacteria.

It looks like blue green slime algea to me. Almost no fish eat it as it's not actually an algae but a diatom. The only fish I heard eats it is the neon blue goby (stiphodon atropurpureus) but I can't confirm this. I do know ultralife blue green slime remover works extremely well. Take the recommendation of uv light and extra air stone seriously. The first time I used it I got a green water algea blue a week after it killed all the slime. I have never had a problem with slime again. Highly recommend the product.

Have you cleaned you filter really well recently? I would suggest trying the blackout with lots of mechinical removal. If that doesn't work, my last resort was this which eradicated it from the aquarium. Be carefeul when using chemicals as it can have very adverse affects on your livestock.

I've had extensive experience dealing with cyano in my 20 long. The most effective solution for me was to use spot treat with Hydrogen Peroxide. Here's the rough process I used:

1. Remove as much Cyano as I could with a toothbrush
   
2. Turn off the filters and pumps to stop water flow
   
3. Keep the fish and other inhabitants away from the treatment area using barriers
   
4. Use a dropper to squirt H2O2 on the bacteria directly. This will cause the bacteria to bubble up like an air stone and you can clean up the remains using a net.
   
   In my case, reducing ferts and light for a while helped outbreaks. Another option is to use commercially available product like this:

   but I do not have personal experience with that particular product.

This was recommended to me:

I just started using today so we'll see if it works in a week.

Edit: Loooove the moss by the way. Really pretty tank!

Get this stuff works amazing! Ultralife Blue Green Slime Stain Remover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QSK31M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YVL4Bb80BM0SH

Definitely cyanobacteria. I've heard this stuff works well http://www.amazon.com/Ultralife-Green-Slime-Stain-Remover/dp/B000QSK31M?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

But you should definitely keep the water extra clean. Maybe add some more low light plants to help soak up the nitrates.

I recently brought BGA (cyanobacteria) into my tank with some new plants. Didn't take long for it to spread. Friend suggested I try this stuff: Ultralife Blue Green Slime Remover
Still haven't used it, but reviews seem positive and my friend swears by it.
